Context is given: auf Gefühle herumtrampeln - that's clear in German. It makes no difference it it's a lover, a relative or friend, a child, a mother or anyone else.

I wish it had been the asker who replied. Anyway, I can read and am aware the the given term taken together means being cruel to someone. What I wanted was to know whether this is in a personal, social, clinical or other context, so that a more precise answer could be given. For example, in a certain context we could also use the terms "traumatic" or "sadistic". In any case, I do not see why anybody, certainly one who is not the asker himself, should object to another colleague seeking more details in order to be able to give an answer appropriate to the context. I find this most curious.

What's "hard-heartedly"? Do you mean "cruelly"?

You can find this in any dictionary but here you are: hartherzig, gefühllos/-arm/-kalt I added h-h to stress that this is done on purpose, with coldness - not inadvertently.

Or: 'grope about in the dark'. Does this make sense???
